FLUSHING-CUSPIDOR.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, STANISLAW MOZUR, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flushing-Cus pidors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in flushing cuspidors.

The primary obj ect of the invention is the provision of a cuspidor having a serviceable flushing device located about the upper end thereof whereby the flushing water will be caused to issue therefrom in tangential paths, the construction also contemplating a serviceable sewer connection for the device.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views r- Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device operatively arranged upon a suitable support illustrated in its operative arrangement. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the same.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail sectional view taken longitudinally through the rim portion of the device, and,

Fig. 5 is a similar view taken transversely of the rim portion thereof.

The invention relates to flushing cuspidors, and is adaptable to such devices of substantially any shape, the same being herein illustrated in connection with a cuspidor having a globular body-portion 10, a contracted neck 11 and an upper flaring receiving end rim 12. A tubular circular bead 13 is peripherally arranged upon the rim 12 having a hose receiving inlet nipple 14 positioned outwardly of the rim at one end side thereof while spaced jet perforations 15 are arranged upon the inner side of the bead and adjacent the inner face of the said rim.

Downwardly-extending tangential ribs 16 are formed upon the inner face of the rim 12 extending substantially mid-way through the inlet, 1l and terminating at their up- Specication of Letters Patent. Patented June 19, 1917, .Application filed July 28, 1916.

Serial No. 111,826.

per ends in the bead 13 at points substantially mid-way between the jets 15.

A base 17 is provided for the body 10 and has a centrally arranged bore or outlet passage 18 while an annular flange 19 is provided upon the said base adapted for removable positioning upon the upper flange 20 of a sewer or outlet pipe 21 carried in an upright position by a supporting member such as the floor 22.

A hinge connection 23 is arranged between the flanges 19 and 20 at one side thereof and provided with a removable pintle 24 while a releasable latch bolt 25 is swingingly arranged opposite the said hinge adapted to maintain the cuspidor in a fixed vertical arrangement upon the pipe flange 2O when desired. A packing or gasket 26 is carried by the base 17 adapted for engaging the pipe flange 20 when the cuspidor is in its upright position designed to furnish a fluid-tight joint between the cuspidor and the sewer pipe 21.

It will be understood that by applying a vwater supply hose or pump to the nipple 14, that water may be forced through the nipple and the bead 13 to be ejected from the jet perforations 15 to flow downwardly between the ribs 16 in a slightly whirling motion, cleaning the entire interior of the cuspidor and thence passing through the outlet 18 thereof into the pipe 21. If found desirable to employ the flushing device without using the outlet pipe 21, the latch 25 may be released and the cuspidor turned upon its hinge 23 for positioning upon its side whereupon the flushing fluid will find an outlet through the bottom opening 18. It will be seen that a cuspidor is provided readily flushed either in its normal upright or reclining position, the same being clean and sanitary, the preferred form of arrangement of elements for carrying out the designed functions being herein illustrated.

What I claim as new is A flushing cuspidor of general jar-like contour, having bodily formed in itself an upper-edge circular tubular rim, said tubular rim having formed in its bottom a plurality of jet-openings, said openings having upon the inner Wall of its neck portion a plu# rality of similarly deflected or inclined ribs with their lower ends terminating about at the center of the contracted portion of said neck and converging toward each other at said lower ends to aid the swirling action 10 of the water passing, iroin said delivery openings of the tubular rino, therebetween at that point;

In testimony whereof I afiiX iny signature.
